    Grande chicken taco
    Alper O.

    In the area on a trip and wanted to get some good food while. This truck has excellent Mexican food. Everything was super good and a great value. The flavor was there and not bland at all, not too spicy either which was great for my friends. The owner was very kind to us and was super helpful and let us know they will be expanding to a store location in a week or two. I wish I could be there to see the restaurant. This food is awesome and exactly what I wanted to have in California

    Food was incredible! Been looking for a great taqueria since moving from the Bay Area. The carnitas were amazing. Everyone there is so kind and the service was great. We've been 4 times and plan to go back again soon.

    First time eating here and we will be back again and again! These tacos were amazing. They tasted fresh and delicious. The hubs got a carnitas burrito and it was huge and he said it was great too. Order was called in and picked up with ease.

    Love this truck. Extra delicious crispy pastor & papas tacos! Some if the best pastor I've had in north California.

    These tacos de papa were amazing! It was like eating at my grandmas house.

    First time eating tacos de papa in about 4 years. And these tacos took me back to my grandmas house. Super bomb. I can't wait til they open the restaurant. They have a customer for life.

    It's going to be a tough digestive day

    Asado Burrito was very tasty. Eating out on the patio was a little warm during the summer.

The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and they went above and beyond to help us.

The location is very convenient, right off the freeway, making it an easy stop for travelers. Friendly people, great food, great chai, and outstanding customer service. Highly recommend this food truck and grocery store to anyone passing through or living in the area. We'll definitely be back! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!

Though its a food truck but it does have some outdoor and indoor dining if u are pressed for time/ distance and dont want to simply takeout. I preferred to call them 30 mins before and order, then pick up and eat at hotel. Its slightly expensive but huge portions and delicious (and still not oily) makes it worth it! Checkout pics for menu and prices. We got: - kala channa aloo sabzi - 4/5 small - good and mild - tandoori chicken tikka - 5/5 mind blowing and good quality meat. Small was good enough for 4 to share if u are ordering variety - chapati 5/5 too good and straight from the tawa - naan - 3/5 decent and fluffy if u eat it right away. I prefer the roti - kadai chicken - 2/5- not the semi dry gravy but it had too much gravy for my liking. Skip it and try butter chicken instead - dal makhani - 5/5 creamy and perfect in every way - mix veg sabzi - large - 5/5 must try- variety of veggies paired together and simmered to softness in flavorful spices. Medium spicy - palak paneer - 3/5- ok nothing great but decent They are always busy around closing time. They do accept cards. Butter chicken and paneer masala have cashew in it.

The flavors are out of this world, and the spicy salsa is absolutely incredible. I can't wait to go back and try everything else on the menu. Out of all the places in Redding that serve Mexican food, this one stands head and shoulders above the rest. The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and full of authentic flavor. Tio Nate himself is a class act and a genuinely great guy, which makes supporting this local business even better. I'll definitely keep coming back. If you haven't tried it yet, you need to. On Wednesdays, they're usually on Bechelli near Hartnell, and you can check out their Instagram and Facebook pages to see where they'll be each day of the week. They're also on DoorDash, and while I was there, I saw tons of orders being picked up, a good sign that people know how good this place really is. Do yourself a favor and try Tio Nate's Taqueria. It's easily one of the best food spots in Redding!

Although I had already brought lunch from home, I decided to give it a shot--and I'm so glad I did! I ordered two carne asada street tacos, which cost around $8-9. Menu was easy to read. The smell of the food cooking in the air was amazing. The tacos were packed with flavor and were absolutely delicious. The girl who took my order was incredibly friendly and helpful, offering suggestions like different sauce spice options and asking if I preferred it spicy on the side so I can adjust the level of spice. She made sure my order was perfect. They gave me a vibrating/beeping mechanism to alert me when my food was ready, and it only took about 5 minutes. The tacos were well worth the short wait. I would definitely visit again--highly recommend!

I came here for dinner and also to get a breakfast burrito for an early morning the next day. The tacos were great, good size and full of meat, perhaps a smidge pricey at ~$5 after tax and tip each, but still delicious. The lengua (tongue) was tender and meaty, cooked the way it should be. The tripas though were the stand out - crispy, smoky, rich... I might get just these next time. If you haven't tried this before, don't be squeamish - they don't taste like offal, they don't have a weird texture, they are just delicious. The tortillas were also great, thin and chewy and just strong enough to hold onto the ingredients while you ate. It should also be noted that they have free and unlimited chips and salsa. And the salsas are quite tasty, the salsa verde being my favorite. The super breakfast burrito was eaten cold at around 5 am the next morning, so obviously it wouldn't be fair to judge it like I had it fresh. But it was well constructed, very well sized, and had plenty of egg and bacon in it. It was good even if not eaten at the optimal time and temperature. The restaurant is located next to a sushi bar (which I am too scared to try given Redding's inland location) and has a big parking lot. They take credit cards and bring the food to your table. Whether you're a local or just visiting this place is definitely worth a visit.
